Lyrics

[Intro]
Are you lonesome like me? (Are you lonesome?)
Could you be lonesome for me? Oh (Are you lonesome? Are you lonesome?)
Could you be lonesome for me? Oh (Are you lonesome? Are you lonesome?)
Are you lonesome like me? (Are you lonesome? Are you lonesome?)
[Verse 1]
I thank God for the day and my cousin Ajile
And the one that got away, I'm the potter's clay
Speak and it would be just like my mama say
I'm seeking to be free like a holiday
My man get the work off, I'm tryna get these words off
Pops left, love gone, that was my first loss
Skin in the game like I'm playing with my shirt off
A lot on my shoulders, I'm tryna get the dirt off
Somehow it comes back, every love I'm in
My endless love always comes to an end
In the cycle, I spin like Michael Jackson, moonwalking
I do often, I knew loss in
Places where hurt tried to find its home
Like I'm tryin' to buy a house, I find myself a loan
When love is in the air, with the wind, I be gone
My grandma say, "You don't wanna die alone"
[Chorus]
Could you be lonesome for me? Oh (Are you lonesome? Are you lonesome?)
Are you lonesome like me? (Are you lonesome? Are you lonesome?)
[Verse 2]
Read twenty-third Psalms and feel the world in my palms
Close my eyes, I still feel my baby girl in my arms
Learned love from my moms, from my pops, I got charm
Grew up around the stones that told me to rock on
Looked at the world accordingly and knew that there was more to me
Learned to love the mic, so I pursued it Jordanly
Sometimes I felt alone like nobody thought of me
Before I formed in the womb, God thought of me
Don't take for granted what divine order ordered me
Fears, they fought in me, tears, they watered me
This was the hustle to set me and my daughter free
Family supported me, combating the mortal me
Years embroidery of things that I ought to be
Peers applauded me for things I never saw in me
The artistry of loneliness, I paint a picture
Yeah, I walk through the valley to myself saying scriptures
[Chorus]
Could you be lonesome for me? Oh (Are you lonesome? Are you lonesome?)
Are you lonesome like me? (Are you lonesome? Are you lonesome?)
[Verse 3]
Beautiful one, beautiful one
I'm proud of what you have become, you have become
And you doing it young, though you say that you old
Them struggles to your goals, it's just the way to your soul
If you fall on the path, just stay on the road
You a queen, you playing with gold
Some things that happen in life, it's just the way that it goes
Onto your lovely self, I pray that you hold
Young Moy, I feel happy when I see you enjoy
Though, you always call me, talking 'bout you're annoyed
Some come, some go, remember Daddy is home
Even when I'm gone, you're not alone
[Chorus]
Are you lonesome like me? (Are you lonesome? Are you lonesome?)
Could you be lonesome for me? Oh (Are you lonesome? Are you lonesome?)
[Outro]
Are you lonesome like me? (Are you lonesome? Are you lonesome?)
Could you be lonesome for me? Oh (Are you lonesome? Are you lonesome?)
